This is a set of routines designed to make any common date/time manipulation
easy to do. Operations such as comparing two times, calculating a time a given
amount of time from another, or parsing international times are all easily
done. From the very beginning, the main focus of Date::Manip has been to be
able to do ANY desired date/time operation easily, not necessarily quickly.
Also, it is definitely oriented towards the type of operations we (as people)
tend to think of rather than those operations used routinely by computers.
